Product Details

The Rule-A-Matic Plus Float Switch is a float switch with fuse holder designed for automatic on/off bilge pump control. Sleek and rugged, the Rule-A-Matic Plus features a fully integrated, impact resistant cover which protects the internal float mechanism against debris and jamming in marine environments.

Key Features:

  • Designed for pumps drawing up to 20 amps
  • 14 gauge highly abrasive resistant marine grade wire
  • Waterproof in-line fuse holder prevents damage to both pump and switch should an electrical problem occur
  • Built-in test feature for easy functionality verification
  • Compatible with 12V (20A), 24V (10A), and 32V (6.5A) systems
  • Activates pump when water reaches 2 inches and deactivates when water falls to 3/4 inch
  • Can also be used to operate high water alarm systems
  • Backed by a 2-year warranty

The Rule-A-Matic Plus Float Switch provides reliable, automatic bilge pump operation for boats and marine applications. The integrated fuse holder eliminates the need to add your own fuse to the positive wire from the battery, simplifying installation while providing essential electrical protection.
